I advise startups including JustPark, a startup backed by Index Ventures and BMW, which I ran as CEO for 3 years. I’m also on the board of crowdfunding platform, Spacehive who empower people to make their local area better.

I’m the author of a book on the sharing economy called The Business of Sharing. You can read about how I ended up running a company and writing a book at the same time here. I interviewed some tech heroes like the founders of Airbnb, Zipcar and BlaBlaCar and met a tiny fraction of the millions of people using sharing and P2P services. I’ve since become an expert on the “sharing economy” – or as it’s sometimes called – the collaborative economy or collaborative consumption. I’ve discussed the sharing economy on the BBC, Bloomberg, Sky among others and spoken at conferences around the world.
